Georgia congressional candidates issued fresh pleas for support Wednesday ahead of a midnight fundraising deadline and, according to one district party chairman, they’ll need every penny.

“They’re technically running four elections at once,” said Doug Grammer, 9th Congressional District chairman for the Republican Party.

Seven Republicans are competing in the May 11 special election to complete the term of former U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal, who is running for governor. Wednesday was the deadline for fundraising that must be included in a report due at the end of the month.

With a seven-person race, Mr. Grammer expects a runoff.
